Rubbish. The Jewish migration into Israel started much earlier than that. One of my Jewish acquaintances (now dead) spent time in a kibutz in Palestine before WW2, though he spent most of WW2 in the UK.
All these groups
in the ME on all sides are a giant pain in the arse to everyone else.
Iran is a much bigger pain in the arse than any of the rest.
Hopefully if Trump gets back into the WH he'll let them all just blow
themselves to pieces without any US intervention and we'll finally have
peace over there.
An Iran-dominated middle east won't be peaceful.
Incidentally Trump and Harris hardly discussed foreign policy at the
debates at all, there is no novel thinking to be found there.
Americans have never cared much about the rest of the world, except as tourist destinations.
Outside of the context of Evangelicals and the aforementioned forever
war the overwhelming majority of Americans simply don't give a fuck
about foreign policy as an election issue, so it's a waste of time for
either of them to even think much about it.
The US devolved foreign policy to Israel a long, long time ago.
It's more that the US Jewish lobby is remarkably influential - not so much because they are all that powerful as because they actually care what happens to Israel.
And given
as you say the average American isn't bothered, it's not something that'll
merit much air-time in any debate. It'll be all about the Left accusing
Trump of being callous and uncaring and the Right about tax rises under
Harris.
Too true. Of course Trump really is callous and uncaring - he's an egomaniac, and only cares about himself - and taxes will rise under Harris because Trump cut taxes when he was in power in a thoroughly irresponsible way, and that will have to be undone.
